About this property

LOVELY COTTAGE IN THE LOIR VALLEY 1h from the Châteaux & 40 min from le Mans

Ideal location for a family holiday of a friends reunion.

The pool (10X4 m) - located next to the house - is private, covered and fenced, with a lovely view on the village and meadows. And reserved solely for you.

The cottage comprises on the ground floor a kitchen & dining room, two living rooms , a cellar and a bathroom over roughly 150 m2.
On the top floor, there are 4 bedrooms, a TV corner and two bathrooms over approximately 130 m2.

The Loir Valley is a lovely region located between Tours and le Mans.

We enjoyed a lovely week here. Michel was helpful before making the booking and provided helpful information on arrival too. The rooms in the house were comfortable and all the bedrooms were a good size. Excellent provisions in the kitchen. The pool was a great hit with everyone in our family and with the weather so warm we used it a lot! A nice daily walk into Courdemanche for fresh bread and pastries from the boulangerie was a real bonus. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Fantastic house

A beautiful house, full of charm and character, and fantastic grounds to explore. Wonderful views over the village and an idyllic, secluded and private setting; even nicer than it looks in the photos! Lovely swimming pool and seating area around it. Very easy walk into the village to visit the boulangerie. Michel was extremely helpful with all questions, and we had a lovely welcome from the property manager. We had two lovely weeks with our young children here and would highly recommend this house for families.

Stay in Courdemanche

Excellent house and pool with plenty of space and importantly, enough bedrooms, bathrooms and showers for eight people, a family group including 2 under 2years of age. Set in deep countryside with beautiful views over the village. Relatively close enough for visits to châteaux of the Loire. Big hypermarket (E. Leclerc) 20 minutes away. Some inclement weather during our stay but enough hot days for swimming and lazing around the pool area. Great holiday. Chris W

Une superbe semaine passée à Courdemanche! Nous étions 2 familles et nous avons pleinement profité de la piscine, de la maison et de la région: canoë sur le Loir, visite au clos Lucé, padel, accrobranche et promenades. La maison est immense, bien équipée, très chaleureuse.

Great family holiday

Lovely character property at the edge of a quiet village. The house is well equipped, spacious and has lots of outdoor space for eating, playing or lounging. The newly installed pool was very popular with my family and is well maintained by the owners local manager.

Magnifique propriété

Parfaitement située sur les hauteurs de Courdemanche la propriété de Michel est de toute beauté. Vaste et très confortable nous avons passé en famille deux semaines de rêve. La demeure est entourée d’un immense parc et la vue sur le village est charmante. Absolument à privilégier si vous souhaitez un endroit calme et ressourçant.

Merci au propriétaire d'avoir proposé à la location sa maison de famille dans laquelle nous avons passé une semaine formidable. Outre la piscine chauffée et les 4 hectares qui entourent la propriété, la vue sur le petit village de Courdemanche nous a enchantés à chaque instant
